QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS |\ |\
An advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) is gathering data
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
for an ongoing research project. In the project, the APRN is
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
interviewing individual patients as well as conducting focused
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
group sessions with multiple patients. Which type of research
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
design is being used by the APRN?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
a. Quasi-experimental
|\
b. Qualitative
|\
c. Experimental
|\
d. Descriptive
|\
ANSWER✔✔ B |\
Qualitative research relies on data obtained by the researcher
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
from first-hand observation, interviews, questionnaires (on which
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
participants write descriptively), focus groups, participant
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
observation, recordings made in natural settings, documents,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
case studies, and artifacts.

An advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) is gathering data
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
for an ongoing research project. In the project, a group of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
individuals with Type 2 diabetes are divided into two randomized
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
groups. Which type of research design is being used by the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
APRN?
,a. Quasi-experimental
|\
b. Qualitative
|\
c. Experimental
|\
d. Descriptive
|\
ANSWER✔✔ C |\
In an experimental research study, the participants in both the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
treatment and control groups are randomly assigned.

An advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) is gathering data
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
for an ongoing research project. In the project, a group of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
individuals with Type 2 diabetes are divided into two non-
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
randomized groups. Which type of research design is being used
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
by the APRN?
|\ |\
a. Quasi-experimental
|\
b. Qualitative
|\
c. Experimental
|\
d. Descriptive
|\
ANSWER✔✔ A |\
A quasi-experimental design does not randomly assign
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
participants to treatment or control groups for comparison.

,An advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) is gathering data
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
for an ongoing research project. In the project, the APRN is
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
focusing on identifying the characteristics that makeup a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
population of patients with Type 2 diabetes. Which type of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
research design is being used by the APRN?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
a. Quasi-experimental
|\
b. Qualitative
|\
c. Experimental
|\
d. Descriptive
|\
ANSWER✔✔ D |\
Descriptive Research is used to describe characteristics of a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
population or phenomenon being studied. It does not answer
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
questions about how/when/why the characteristics occurred.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Rather it addresses the "what" question (what are the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
characteristics of the population or situation being studied?). |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
What is the purpose of Level I research?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
a. To define characteristics of interest of groups of patients
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
b. To demonstrate the effectiveness of an intervention or
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
treatment
, c. To describe relationships among characteristics or variables
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
d. To evaluate the nature of relationships between two variables
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWER✔✔ A |\
Level I research is conducted to define the characteristics of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
groups of patients.
|\ |\
What is the purpose of Level II research?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
a. To define characteristics of interest of groups of patients
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
b. To demonstrate the effectiveness of an intervention or
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
treatment
c. To describe relationships among characteristics or variables
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
d. To evaluate the nature of relationships between two variables
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWER✔✔ C |\
Level II research is concerned with describing the relationships
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
among characteristics or variables.
